Abstract
Water is the fundamental element for the existence of life on earth is one of the essential natural
resources used by humans. The use of alternative sources of water in public and private bodies has
been the most constant form in recent years, this time aiming to reduce the demand for drinking
water. The management of water use and the search for alternative sources of supply such as
rainwater use fall within the context of sustainable development, which proposes the use of natural
resources in a balanced way and without harming future generations. Thus, the design of the reservoir
for the use of rainwater at the Manacapuru Metropolitan Faculty of Manacapuru - UEA, by the
methods provided by the NBR 15527/2007 guidelines were satisfactory. With ten-year rainfall data
from 04/2008 to 12/2017, in the municipality of Manacapuru, the volume found for the reservoir to
meet the analyzed rainwater demand was 37.17 m³, with a supply of approximately 80% of nonpotable water consumption at Manaus Metropolitan Faculty Manacapuru unit. Thus the economic
advantages, the implementation of this sustainable system can bring benefits to the environment, so
all the water collected will help to minimize the occurrence of floods and the improper consumption
of treated water.
